The Categorization of countries by World Bank.
Explanation of Solution
The World Bank is the International Financial Institution which provides loans for all the countries in order to bridge their capital needs with the investment and programs. All the countries of the world are categorized into four categories or groups by the World Bank on the basis of the GNI per capita of the country. They are the following:
Low-income Economies: It is the group of countries whose GNI per capita is less than $1,005. The examples for the low-income economies are Senegal and Liberia.
Lower middle- income Economies: It is the group of countries which has the GNI per capita income between $1,006 and $3,955. The examples for the Lower-middle income group of economies are India and Indonesia.
Upper middle- income Economies: It is the group of countries which has the GNI per capita income between the $3,956 and $12,235. The examples for the upper middle- income group economies are the Croatia and Samoa.
High- income Economies: They are the countries that have their GNI per capita income $12,235 or more. The best examples for the High –income economies are Germany and Czech Republic.
Concept introduction:
World Bank: It is the International Bank that provides long term loans for the World countries for their capital needs and programs.
Gross
GNI per capita: It is the Gross National Income divided by the total population of the country. Thus it is the GNI per head.

- In Country A, the production of 1 bicycle requires using resources that could otherwise be used to produce 11 lamps. In Country B, the production of 1 bicycle requires using resources that could otherwise be used to produce 15 lamps. Which country has a comparative advantage in making bicycles? LO26.2 a.

Try to describe the global economic crisis on world trade and commodity prices because of the COVID and use the Stopler-Samuelson theorem to predict the effect on income distribution in Australia. It should be imagined Australia is a specific factor economy with 'mining' in Queensland and Western Australia on the one hand, and a sector included manufacturing, agriculture and services in the other states. Assume that there is mobile labour between these two sectors, that there is no unemployment, and that Australia is a price taker for its exports.arrow_forward
- 2: One consistent pattern of economic development for most rich countries is that the share of their labor force in agriculture and the share of their GDP from agriculture steadily declined as their total GDP per capita increased. Developing countries today should infer from this pattern that: [Select one] They should try to reduce the number of workers in agriculture in order to grow their economy. They should favor and focus primarily on promoting non-agricultural sectors since they are the most important sectors in developed countries. Both a and b. None of the above.arrow_forwardUsing the demand and supply of loanable funds, demonstrate the effect of the following on the interest rate. As a result, what would you expect to be the impact of the change on growth? (LO9-3) a-Government increases spending. b-Businesses become more productive. c-The people as a whole save more.arrow_forwardPlease no written by hand Suppose that in a country one-third of all females born die in infancy, one-third of all females die in infancy, one-third die at age 30, and one-third live to age 60.

- 1. California's GDP per capita is $60,000, while Nevada's GDP per capita is$40,000. If both grow at 2 percent per year, how long will it take for the twostates to have the same GDP per capita?A) 25 yearsB) 35 yearsC) 50 yearsD) They will never have the same GDP per capitaarrow_forward(Words apart) Per capita income most recently was about 160 times greater in the US that in Democratic Republic of the Congo. Suppose per capita income grows an average of 3 percent per year in the richer country and 6 percent per year in the poorer country. Assuming such growth rates continue indefinitely into the future, how many years would it take before per capita income in the Congo exceeds that of the US? (to simplify the math, suppose at the outset per capita income is $160000 in the richer country and $1000 in the poorer country.)arrow_forward4. Discuss whether state or market solutions to development problems are preferable by evaluating whether these statements are true or false. Use production function specifications (such as a Solow model with two types of capital) and graphs to prove your points. Give examples in African countries of good and bad policies and outcomes to illustrate your arguments in a through d.a. Markets get the desirable allocation right when all inputs to production are private goods and there is perfect competition.b. It is desirable that the government allow Free Trade rather than kill trade off with punitive taxes and controls.c. State intervention is needed when some inputs to production are public goods (give the definitions explaining how public goods differ from private goods).d. Whether market solutions are preferable to state intervention in a particular case depends on whether private payoffs and social payoffs are aligned.arrow_forward

Present your result either in a table or graphs. What do these growth rates tell about globalization vs. national economic growth rates for these groups? 8. How have US shares of Canada's exports, and imports of goods and services, and inward and outward FDI stock changed in the last two decades? Show with two graphs, one for trade and the other for FDI) Most of these data can be downloaded from World Bank, UNCTAD and CANSIM databases.arrow_forward1) How equitable is the distribution of income in the G7, Brazil, China, India, and other countries?
